Personal Assistants

I am a young man with complex health care needs, and I require 2:1 support at all times. I live in my home with my family, and I have a great team of Personal Assistants who support me and know my needs. My conditions mean that I require support with all aspects of my daily living and suitable candidate will need to be able to support me with various tasks throughout the day, these include but are not limited to personal care, feeding, physio, administering of medication. I enjoy listening to music and participating in brain stimulation exercises, which enhance my mood and cognitive function. I have my own swimming pool where I relax and relieve muscle tension through gentle swimming. It is essential that carers adopt a person-centred approach, allowing me to live life to the fullest by supporting my interests and preferences.

I am looking for someone who understands my medical problems and can also provide an emotional support. The ideal candidate will ideally live locally to me, be flexible, patient, have a good sense of humour and a genuine caring nature. You will need to be enthusiastic and inspiring to bring a sense of energy into my life. You must also be able to demonstrate a high level of professionalism and integrity, promoting my independence and respecting my home. Be a team player as you will be working with another carer to provide 2:1 care. Experience is advantageous but not compulsory as all training will be provided.
